If you have not been notified by NOC within two weeks of filing a completed FAFSA, with the exception of those who filed prior to January 1st, please contact the Financial Aid Office to see if additional information is needed.

To be considered for scholarships the Financial Aid Office must have received your FAFSA and all required paperwork submitted, regardless of eligibility.

Students who receive a scholarship award, but have not filed FAFSA, are REQUIRED to file within 30 days of their notification. Failure to do so may result in the scholarship being revoked.

What to Expect:

Awarding of Financial Aid and Scholarships begin after Spring Break.

When all required documents are received, The Financial Aid Office will evaluate your student file and send out award notifications via email and include instructions on how to log into myNOC and accept your awards through campus connect.

Scholarship award notifications will be sent via email and contain a link to the scholarship website that gives details about the offer and allow the scholarship to be accepted.

NOTE: All Financial Aid will be applied to student accounts first from state and federal financial aid grants, i.e., Pell, SEOG, OTAG, AHLAP, etc. These will become the primary source of funding student’s educational costs. All scholarship students must apply for FAFSA within 30 days of accepting a scholarship award. (students receiving NOC scholarship awards that are the equivalent of a full ride scholarship could be eligible for partial refund up to $1,000.)
